Although there was a light blue like that availible on irocs, and an even lighter blue availible for firebirds, that doesnt seem to be it. I could be wrong though. The Camaro blue looks more like a metallic flake light blue color, and the firebird blue looks alittle lighter. Could just be that your car is faded or something. Someone will know for sure though...
EDIT: also, i just noticed that your car is a 1991 and im almost positive that there was no blue color similar to that in 1991 for either the firebird or camaro. I have a 1992 and i know there were no blue camaros in 1992. I think 1991 might be the same. The closest thing was teal...which your car obviously isnt. Its probably a repaint, but it looks like someone was attempting to reproduce either the Iroc blue or the maui blue of the firebirds.

I think its a repaint. I havent seen a blue like that. I know a kid who had a 91 RS but his blue was lighter (like a baby blue) Also notice the grill. That should be black.. I think its been repainted.. Also you have a Iroc Z hood with the louvers.. A reg 91 RS has nothing on the hood. Just a plain hood, no blisters no louvers, NADA..

that's a stock color but i dont know if it was in 91. I have a friend with a stock 88 RS and it is the exact same color. Except her clear coat is peeling and all that nice stuff.

Nice car!!, If you really want to know on the orginal paint color, look in the back storage compartment, (open trunk lid and off to the left). There should be a sticker in there that has the paint code.

its lighter than that the camara darkens it a bit.
I hate to be the one to say this but have you verified the VIN? I think there is a possibility your car is not a 91. Considering the guy you bought it from is a liar, the color was stock on earlier year cars, your car has a hood that came on earlier year cars, and a 91-92 GFX swap is easy and you saw overspray by the carpet. The interior would be a giveaway, but maybe the guy was sly and also swapped some interior stuff. Maybe I'm paranoid?

Doesn't the sprayed grill vents give away that it is a repaint? Shouldn't that be black?
Hell, I don't know Camaros but can spot a repaint (I think).

That color existed in 1991, mine was that color when I bought it.
It looks to me like they put an IROC hood on there though, which may be the reason there is overspray, from when the hood was painted.
The color is called Maui Blue Metallic, as far as I know.
